Year 12 at Chilton

Academic breadth at Year 12

Year 12 students select six subjects. 

Chilton's vertical approach to timetabling at senior level means that girls are able to move flexibly through the NCEA, accelerating in an area of strength if they wish, concentrating on an area of interest without sacrificing breadth and backfilling if they have dropped a subject in error.  

All Year 12 students take courses in Health and Physical Recreation, Religious Studies and NCEA English.  They then select a further five of the following NCEA subjects from Level 2 or, if pre-requisites are met, Level 3.  Level 1 subjects are also available.

One spell of a student's timetable, as determined by the Deputy Principal Academic, may be replaced by Music Academy or Sports Academy for selected students.
